I have been wondering whether my Kaelyssa list can handle Gaspy3’s Slayers, and was presented with a similar list, but run by Goreshade1 to act as a bit of a testing ground. Rob won the first turn.

Slayers run up the table, hiding behind the building on the right where possible.

I stationary and disrupt the Reaper, blocking in a couple more Jacks, before getting up the table myself, staying out of threat of the Slayers.



An Arc Node runs up allowing Goreshade to kill Eiryss. Goreshade Feats and sends his Banes into my Sentinels and Destors. Rob then throws a real curveball at me and runs up all the Slayers to jam me, setting me a real puzzle for next turn



I’m pretty sure that there is an assassination on here, so use my Vengeance moves on the right to clear off the Sentinels. Helios pulls Goreshade forward before Kaelyssa shoots to remove his Focus and kill off Deathwalker. It is pretty dicy with the Sentinels but I don’t need to his many 8s, and thankfully the last attack takes him out.



VICTORY

-      Not too much to learn from this, I almost wish I had foregone the assassination to see how the attrition played out, but I panicked a bit with all the Slayers in my face
-      Pleased with how I engineered the assassination, it is quite often an option with this list
